Mobile phones, cable boxes, alarm clocks, and microwaves are just a few examples of where time can be read at a glance. The need for a single centralized wall clock seems pointless unless you take its intrinsic design value to heart. For example, Definition of Time by Wooteik Lim (love the name) envisages a timepiece not really suited for easy time telling but the piece is quite sculptural easily making it a centerpiece in your home.

If it had a light source at the front that directed light at the wall, then it might be useful as well as a sculpture. Good concept though.
so nice concept with a big aesthetical value .. nice at all
I love that it’s not very obvious that it’s a clock at all. It definitely lends itself to looking like a sculpture at first – look close that it’s functional too! Very nice.
Cool, like the light idea Keith, easier to read at awkward angles…
Where can i buy this clock?

Hmm. There was a similar concept done 4 years ago in the [Nagoya Design DO!]international competition. The theme is “Invisible Scents”.
